Why would I need to? I don't respect your opinion in the least. The time for being nice and taking the high road has long since passed. These gas bags need to be removed from office, and from invading our personal information, and in a more perfect world, imprisoned. DJT is nothing more than a convicted criminal, a liar, a cheat, and a pimple on the collective asses of the American people. Is that plain enough for you? NO RESPECT when you can't see the true bottom line here.

No, personal insults were an art form reaching a new standard that was set by our Russian asset, Fascist President. Every single campaign speech of his was designed around a stream of personal insults, whether it was DeSantis, Christy, Nicki Haley or K. Harris and the MAGA audiences lapped it up and encouraged it. You can have your political opinion, no matter how many oppose it, but you canтАЩt whitewash arrogant petulance because you agree with the petulant recipient of your dedication.

Based on his proximity to Trump, during his first administration, plus my time in the military affording me a level of solid confidence in the validity of his opinion, I will go with the statement of the former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley who said Trump was; тАЬFascist to the core.тАЭ

The level of fascist behavior that makes a fascist clearly identifiable as such, requires a context of government conditions for that behavior to fully manifest. Hitler had decades of building that context. TrumpтАЩs efforts to build that context are still underway - and to a diminishing extent, probably feels it serves him to keep his worst convictions concealed as long as he might need to not alienate the electorate.

Give him time, or, better yet - donтАЩt.

Nope.

For Trump to completely remake U.S. government to unfailingly comply with his policies still requires the continuous compliance of congress. To redirect the assets that the government applies in all itтАЩs processes from serving the public to redistribution to oligarch donors sustaining him, as one example, will require congress to pass a budget with his tax cuts, service cuts and increased deficit. I would like to see congress NOT simply fall in line. If Congress were to stand up to Trump and NOT give him his тАЬbig beautiful billтАЭ, that would be one step blocking his progression to effective fascism. Since you have brought the constitution into this, it also provides for impeachment, not just of the President, but other highly placed officials. I would love to see both Trump and Vance removed from office, but acknowledge the unlikelihood of thatтАж, at least for now.

тАЬMaking me feel betterтАЭ has nothing to do with it.

Putting the world at risk of transitioning from тАЬrule of lawтАЭ to imperial domination by the strongest autocratic regimes, justifying wars of pure conquest, is a process that absolutely should not be allowed, and all indications are thatтАЩs exactly what Trump is working for. I consider TrumpтАЩs dealings with PutinтАЩs Russia, with regards the war in Ukraine, to be an indication of his allegiance to Putin which approaches the definition of treason. You will probably disagree, which is your right. WeтАЩll both just have to live with our disagreement.

Oh it's not personal, to the extent that I feel the same way about anyone that voted for him, and who continues to try and gaslight those of us that know the truth. You can fool yourself (and call it anything you want) but you are't fooling the majority of us. Might as well get that understood right now. If people are to stupid or willful to see what is happening right under their noses, than that's how they will be treated.

I guess you didn't understand when I said I didn't care. Her opinion means nothing to me. It does not change our opinion of Trump.

Fred maybe you should be directing your ire to ypur dear leader

You are brainwashed, deluded or just as loathsome as trump and muskrat. They are greedy oligarchs who only care about themselves and gaining more money and more power.

trumo and his herd of turds are destroying our democracy for their own gain.
